► New super-Huracan revealed at Geneva► Fastest and most focused version yet► 631bhp and 0-62mph in 2.9sec

Hot off the back of its storming record-breaking debut at the Nurburgring, the Lamborghini Huracan Performante has now been fully revealed at the 2017 Geneva motor show.

Described as a Super Trofeo (Lambo’s one-make race series) car for the road, the Huracan's design has been tweaked to make the Performante look even more focused.

Upgrades include a sharper front end with cooling ducts in the bonnet, high mounted exhausts at the rear and plenty of carbonfibre – contributing to the car’s light weight and aerodynamic build.

It’s all about the ALA

That’s Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva – or Active Lamborghini Aerodynamics to you and I. It’s been developed specially for the Huracan Performante and adds active wings and flaps to boost downforce while also reducing drag.

The new tech – the acronym of which neatly mean 'wing' in Italian – is integrated into the electronic brain that already governs the Huracan's dynamic behaviour, the Lamborghini Piattaforma Inerziale (LPI).

LPI's activation of the ALA takes just 500 milliseconds, and it's designed to sculpt the Performante's shape from moment to moment. Without going into too much detail, this means maximum downforce in the turns but reduced drag on the straights. It sounds incredibly sophisticated.

Suddenly that 6min 52sec 'ring time starts to make a little more sense. According to Lamborghini, during full braking the active rear wing delivers as much as 750% more 'vertical downforce' than the regular Huracan coupe.

How fast is the Performante?

With the most powerful 5.2-litre V10 Lamborghini has ever produced sitting amidships, the Performante spits out 631bhp at a whaling 8000rpm, and peaks at 442lb.ft of torque at 6500rpm – though 70% of that muscle is available from 1000rpm.
